Does Strattera really make you unmotivated, or is it just placebo?
I've been taking Strattera for about a month now and have been following this subreddit closely. I've experienced several expected side effects like constipation, nausea, dizziness, and insomnia.
However, I've noticed that many posts here mention that Strattera can make people feel unmotivated, unproductive, and sometimes even depressed. As someone diagnosed with both depression and anxiety, I’m curious if this is a real side effect of the medication or just a placebo. In all the videos and expert content I’ve come across about Strattera, none of them have mentioned this particular issue.
Is this a real side effect of the medication or could it be just that people have undiagnosed depression and taking Strattera makes them more aware of those depressive symptoms??
